Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner. Summer Chicken Dinner Recipes that you will want to lick off your plate. Every time I want to make Chicken for Dinner, I go back to that time, when I was small and every Sunday my Dad used to get about 2 pounds of Chicken. My Mom would cook it. And, the entire home would be smelling of something that we can only imagine. The hungry birds in my stomach would be looking at the clock and waiting for the lunchtime so that I could grab a plate and dig into it. And, then enjoy my Chicken dinner like a winner.
Such is my relationship with a Chicken Dinner. It will always remain special to me. No matter how old I get, Chicken recipes will always remain my favorite.
What I really like about Chicken recipes is how you can give it your own kind of taste. The juicy chicken are so good at accepting the flavors. Whether you want to give them a honey garlic touch or a honey lemon touch or a cilantro lime touch or a ginger soy touch, chicken is always accepting of the flavors. And, therefore as a Chef, this is what you like. Because you get to experiment with the flavors. Sometimes you combine something soury with something sweet. Sometimes you let the zestiness stay there and don't do anything so that it creates a humble and earthy taste.
Since its summers. So summer means Grilling season. And Chicken Season. So, here are my favorite Summer Chicken Dinner recipes.
